| Abstract: | Urticaria in infants can cause significant anxiety in parents, especially if a trigger cannot be identified. In a retrospective study of 246 infants seen for urticaria of unknown etiology at Boston Children's Hospital, 88.2% had resolution of urticaria within 6 weeks. The etiology of urticaria was ultimately established in 62.6% (72/115) of acute urticaria and 12.5% (2/16) of chronic urticaria cases with follow-up data. Pediatric healthcare providers can counsel families that while etiology of urticaria is never determined in over 40% of infants, symptoms are most likely to resolve spontaneously. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC. |
